There’s a saying that goes about leading a horse to water but can’t force it to drink, something along those lines.
You could go through so much effort to water down the language to make it easily digesting for them to read, but then they’d cry about how dumb you’re making them look.
You could try to improve that by using words to better explain, but then they’d just harp on you for using words they don’t understand.
You can jot down a multi-paragraph explanation about such and such, but then they’d whine and bitch about how long it was for them to read.
It’s just, you can’t win with stupid. Willingly stupid, at that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you don't know where a movie/show/book/game takes place, where do you assume it takes place?

It can work. It is just, Russia and China completely fucked it up and made it a shunned system to practice.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever either taken part in or been targeted by an internet hate mob? For what reasons and what happened after?
2·2 days agoI was recently targeted by an internet hate mob.
Reason? They simply didn’t like someone pointing out how they behaved too closely to another userbase on another platform that they didn’t like.
So, I was targeted by about 9 people who dogpiled me and have proven me right that they did, in fact, behave like another userbase from another platform behaved. They were just too delusional to see it. You just find trashy people in just about anywhere. Doing nothing for themselves and think they’re contributing to something because they act as enforcers for what they perceive as ‘righteous’ in the communities that they’re in.
Discord, to me anyways, is perhaps the pinnacle of messengers as they come. It’s more than a messenger, it is a messenger and a IRC-like client. The only problem I have had with Discord, is how janky its web-based programming is.

It began with Eggs. Yes, eggs. A lot of voters thought if they brought Trump back, he’d lower the price of eggs. So he got in, the prices of eggs remained and eventually he told everyone to shut up about them. Now that eggs are back at a reasonable price range, there’s issue after issue with him.
I’m going to link something that details and tracks every little thing he’s done right here Trump’s Crimes
But Trump is merely the symptom of a even greater problem. Because people asked the very same question when George W Bush was re-elected in 2004. They asked that again when Reagan was re-elected, they asked that when George H.W Bush got a term. The Republicans are going by the playbook of taking advantage of out-of-touch individuals in the country, particularly rural voters, and playing up to them about their concerns. A lot of people in the country are largely single-minded voters, who believe, if they got X in the office, they will take care of that problem and almost let them have free reign at anything else.
And this kind of mindset is damaging, only amplified the day Trump got his first term. At the time though, I still liked to have believed that the Democrats blindsided Bernie Sanders who was gaining momentum and was for the people (both times he tried running anyways). And the DNC didn’t want that so they pushed for Hilary Clinton to take the nomination. And the people who been following and tracking, took great offense to this (even though they could’ve just said ‘Fuck you’ to the ballots by writing in Bernie anyways, like I did, just not enough of them cared to) and decided to just throw everything upside down by having Trump in office.
We suffered for 4 years of his chaos then, then by the time the 2020 elections rolled over, we reluctantly voted Biden as a means to put at end to the-then madness of events of Trump’s first term. We saw some progress but not the kind of progress we expected out of Biden, who didn’t have all of the tools necessary for someone having been beside Obama. And when the 2024 elections rolled around, there was this massive uptick in MAGA/QAnon/GOP/Nazi movement going on that was allowed run unchecked and they have been doing their damage. Sure enough even with Harris plugged in at last minute for the few months left of campaigning, the 75+ million uninformed, deranged lunatics from the aforementioned movement got Trump back in.
And the chaos has resumed, more harsher than the first term.
